Abstract: Diversity becomes increasingly important for German companies. Accordingly, the topic stands out prominently in company communications. If diversity has such a high importance it will be assumed that diversity should exist particularly on executive board level. After all, this body leads companies’ employees by example. Multiple diversity criteria were applied to investigate the diversity of the DAX30 executive board members. The results of this study and their implications are presented in this article.
